Thanks Gregory! Read this article before, but the method provided here is only applicable to the download, you have a better recommendation for the upload program?

No, unfortunately I don't have another recommendation. I've sent this along as a feature request.

@Elina The Dropbox API v2 Java SDK now offers progress listeners for uploads and downloads. This has been released in v3.0.9:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/releases/tag/v3.0.9

There's an example of using it with with the uploadAndFinish method ( https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/DbxUploader.html#uploadA... ) for an upload here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-java/blob/master/examples/upload-file/src/main/java/com/dropb...

It works the same way with file downloads; the download method ( https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v3.0.x/com/dropbox/core/DbxDownloader.html#downl... ) optionally takes a ProgressListener parameter the same way.

Need more support?
